.    Chapter 450 Autumn Harvest and Winter Storage 8

    Chen Jinbao sent an invitation, saying that he would invite Li Qinglin to a banquet in three days, because Chen Jinbao was celebrating the birthday of his little mother, Wang Yinhua, on that day.

    Seeing this invitation from Chen Jinbao, Li Qinglin couldn't help but laugh.  Wang Yinhua is only in her twenties this year, and Chen Jinbao is actually preparing to give her an excuse to celebrate her birthday. Isn't this clearly telling him that he has something to discuss tomorrow?

    Three days later, Li Qinglin took Ding Goudan and several other guards on the road to Chenjiazhai early in the morning.  The air is crisp in autumn, and the distant mountains are as dark as black. After that bandit suppression, there are absolutely no more barking dog thieves in the jurisdiction of the ninth detachment. Li Qinglin's horseback ride to the banquet this time is like an autumn outing.

    There was naturally no delay on the way. At eleven o'clock in the morning, Li Qinglin and his party arrived outside Chenjiazhai.

    Ding Goudan had already entered the village in advance to inform him of Li Qinglin¡¯s itinerary. This time, the village gate in Chenjiazhai was wide open. Chen Jinbao and a group of family members stood outside the gate to personally greet the local chief executive, Li Qinglin.

    When Chen Jinbao saw Li Qinglin coming, he greeted him early.  Before Li Qinglin could dismount, Chen Jinbao clasped his hands and said, "Welcome, welcome. Chief Li can attend the banquet in person. This is the greatest honor of our Chenjiazhai."

    Li Qinglin hadn't seen Chen Jinbao for a long time. When he saw Chen Jinbao this time, he was wearing silk clothes, green cloth shoes, and a huge gold ring on each hand. Although he was not old, he was  His body has obviously gained weight, giving him the appearance of a nouveau riche.

    Li Qinglin jumped off the horse, then punched Chen Jinbao in the face, and said with a smile: "You rich man Chen, you are so polite now. I see you, you don't even look like a prince when you wear a dragon robe, you should still treat yourself as your Chen Jinbao."  Mistress."

    Chen Jinbao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Chief Li is still familiar with me. Please, come in quickly." With that, he led Li Qinglin towards the village.

    Arriving at the Chen family's mansion, the birthday star Wang Yinhua was sitting in the large living room wearing gold and silver, and silk and satin. Chen Jinbao's mother and Jin Xiaoai were sitting on the side.  As soon as Li Qinglin entered the room, he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the little birthday boy who is as blessed as the East China Sea and may live as long as the Southern Mountains."

    Wang Yinhu¨¡ blushed and said, "Chief Li knows how to joke."

    Jin Xiaoai covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are not joking. You are really a birthday boy today."

    Wang Yinhua is less than thirty years old this year. As Chen Shide's little wife, she is nominally Chen Jinbao's little mother.  Chen Jinbao is currently the head of Chenjiazhai, but he is young and unmarried.  The eldest wife has gone to live with her own son for retirement. Chen Jinbao is responsible for all external matters in Chenjiazhai, and of course the second wife Jin Xiaoai and the third wife Wang Yinhu¨¡ are in charge of internal matters.  The second wife Jin Xiaoai's business is now very prosperous, so her main focus is on business, and Wang Yinhua has become the implicit head of Chenjiazhai.

    Lunch was naturally sumptuous. Li Qinglin had not been to Chenjiazhai for a long time, so Chen Jinbao naturally brought out all kinds of delicacies to entertain Li Qinglin.

    It was said to be a birthday banquet for Wang Yinhua, but in fact there were only two guests at today's banquet, one was Li Qinglin, and the other was Wang Yinhua's brother Wang Leshan.

    Wang Leshan is now the captain of the first team of the Civil Security Corps. At the banquet, he frequently toasted and kept hinting to Li Qinglin that Liang Xixian was wearing small shoes for himself.

    According to the previous division of labor, Liang Xixian is indeed in charge of the Civil Security Corps.  Just in the past few days, Liang Xixian suddenly sent a deputy captain to Wang Leshan's team, and designated this deputy captain to be responsible for managing the money and materials of the team.  As a local armed force financed by a local squire, Liang Xixian let his people take charge of money and materials. This move really pinched Wang Leshan's throat.

    The members of these militia groups are no better than the soldiers of the Ninth Detachment. They join the militia mainly because of their patriotic enthusiasm, but they also value the most practical income.  Li Qinglin analyzed that Liang Xixian should be putting pressure on Chen Jiazhai.

    Regarding Wang Leshan¡¯s hint, Li Qinglin couldn¡¯t tell him anything clearly.  The militia are a very important force. They may not be good at fighting, but they play an irreplaceable role in maintaining public order. Li Qinglin repeatedly reassured Wang Leshan and promised that he would handle the matter well.

    Wang Leshan was naturally very happy after receiving Li Qinglin's guarantee, so he toasted more and more attentively.

    Wang Leshan and Chen Jinbao took turns toasting, and Li Qinglin couldn't resist anymore. He quickly covered his glass and said, "You can't drink any more, you can't drink any more. The second phase of the Japs' law and order order is about to begin. I  There are still important things to do in the afternoon, so don¡¯t delay the important things because of drinking.¡±

    Although Chen Jinbao and Wang Leshan repeatedly persuaded Li Qinglin to drink, Li Qinglin refused to drink more. Finally, when he saw Li QinglinLin's mind was made up, and the two had no choice but to give up.

    After dinner, Chen Jinbao proposed to rest at Chenjiazhuang in the evening. Li Qinglin did not agree. After taking a short rest, Li Qinglin proposed to go back and forth to Qinghe.

    Although Chen Jinbao repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, Li Qinglin still insisted on rushing back. Chen Jinbao saw that he could not keep Li Qinglin, so he personally sent Li Qinglin outside the village gate.

    After leaving the village gate, Chen Jinbao said with a sly smile: "Sir Li, our two beautiful ladies are here. It would be a pity if you don't stay here tonight."

    Chen Jinbao had previously suggested that Li Qinglin take in the two concubines of his old man, but Li Qinglin did not agree with him at that time. Chen Jinbao is now bringing up the old matter again, obviously for his own sake.  Li Qinglin believed that Chen Jinbao did this because, firstly, he wanted to really tie Li Qinglin to Chen Jiazhai. With the giant Buddha of Li Qinglin covering him, Liang Xixian would definitely retreat; secondly, Chen Jinbao wanted to do it for himself. If the two women  Only when everyone is taken away by Li Qinglin can Chen Jinbao be a veritable leader of the village.

    Li Qinglin couldn't help but point at Chen Jinbao and said with a smile: "Mistress of the Chen family, your son has done a good job and even pushed his own little mother into someone else's arms. Aren't you afraid that your father will scold you underground?"

    Chen Jinbao chuckled and said: "He enjoys a happy life underground without asking anything. I arranged for him the future of his wife. He should thank me."

    The children of this wealthy family would do anything for their own benefit. Li Qinglin couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

    Back to Qinghe, apart from normal daily affairs, what Li Qinglin is most concerned about right now is intelligence.

    The Japanese army¡¯s war of suppression is about to begin, and the local farmers¡¯ autumn harvest is in full swing. Li Qinglin must protect the autumn harvest.  The rapid transfer of the army has made Li Qinglin and his companions' contact with the rear increasingly difficult, and food and ammunition have been somewhat exhausted. Therefore, only by protecting the autumn harvest can the Ninth Detachment's military rations for next year be guaranteed.  If you want to protect the autumn harvest, you must be prepared for war and face the importance of intelligence.

    Li Qinglin already has three sources of intelligence, one is from Yan Boling, one is from Pan Kewei, and the other is from the intelligence team managed by Han Jizhong.  Everyone believed that a war was imminent, so all parties tried their best to collect intelligence. Because of the excessive tension, some of the information collected could only be called social conditions.  For example, the intelligence team provided some information, which was actually conversations about the current situation by some relatively well-known figures in the private sector.

    Han Jizhong is the busiest during this period. He summarizes the information obtained from all aspects every day, and then writes an intelligence analysis and sends it to Li Qinglin and others.

    Among these pieces of information, the most valuable was a report on the enemy's internal meeting that Pan Kewei obtained.  In this meeting, the Japanese commander in the northern Henan region made it clear that the North China Front Army is currently severely underfunded. After next year, food and other materials will be given priority to frontline combat troops. This type of garrison troops in the northern Henan region will mainly  Relying on itself to collect supplies in the occupied areas, the imperial army's current operation to collect "supply rice" is imminent.

    By analyzing various situations, Li Qinglin and others believe that the Japanese army is mobilizing the troops that can be mobilized, and their so-called solemn operation is about to begin.  However, their troops are obviously insufficient, so they can only deal with one of the three forces in northern Henan.  Who are the Japanese planning to attack?  Are they preparing to attack Sun Dianying's troops?  Or the ninth team?  Or the advance battalion of the Eighth Route Army?

    According to Li Qinglin's speculation, the focus of the Japs' attack is likely to be the Eighth Route, because currently it seems that only the Eighth Route is the weakest. Judging from the lack of Japanese troops, only attacking the Eighth Route is their safest approach.  .

    Speculations are just wishful thinking. Who the Japanese will attack in the end will only be determined when the battle starts. Therefore, Li Qinglin and the others dare not slack off at all, and all the brigade are training and preparing for war.

    Since the reconstruction of the Ninth Detachment, Chief of Staff Liu Changda has done his best. In accordance with the practice of the ** Staff Department, Liu Changda led the staff to formulate some combat plans, including contingency plans on how to prevent enemy surprise attacks.  As the top local military officer, Li Qinglin reviewed these plans one by one.

    Liu Changda¡¯s staff members all graduated from military academies. The level of the work on the pictures was of course impeccable, and they were naturally familiar with military theory. Therefore, these plans were well done and looked very good. Of course, Li Qinglin could not find any mistakes.  However, Li Qinglin repeatedly emphasized that the staff must conduct on-site inspections at the planned combat locations.

    Li Qinglin has always believed that no matter how good a plan is, it is just a plan. When fighting against the enemy, the situation is ever-changing. If a commander cannot adjust his command in time according to the time and place, but instead clings to those seemingly perfect plans to command the battle, he will end up with nothing.  on a piece of paperIt's just Zhao Kuo who talks about military affairs.

    Everything is going on in a tense and orderly manner, because there are dedicated people in charge of staff, logistics, intelligence, training, etc., and these people are working diligently and diligently. Li Qinglin has now become the most idle person.  Apart from urging his people to work harder every day, he seemed to have nothing to do.

    Just when Li Qinglin was feeling bored, Jin Xiaoai suddenly came to Qinghe to visit Li Qinglin.
